JSesh 7.9 is out !

It features a number of minor improvements, a lot of modified signs, a quite a few new texts!

Fonts

Many signs have been redrawn to fit their Hieroglyphica counterpart or to be more accurate ; A complete list of changes is available here.

Minor improvements

• In the group menu, you will find an entry which can vertically center a single sign (basically by adding 0-height spaces around it);

• explode group also works on the current selection now;

• add cartouche now has a shortcut (control or command C, depending on the platform);

• the hieroglyphic palette won't always be on top.
